There are a few things that can be done in times of
grave emergencies. Your mobile phone can actually be a life saver or an emergency tool for survival. Check out the things that you can do with it:
FIRST Subject: Emergency
The Emergency Number worldwide for Mobile is 112. If
you find yourself out of coverage area of your mobile
network and there is an emergency, dial 112 and the
mobile will search any existing network to establish
the emergency number for you, and interestingly this
number 112 can be dialed even if the keypad is locked.
Try it out.
SECOND Subject: Have you locked your keys in the car?
Does your car have remote keyless entry?
This may come in handy someday. Good reason to own a cell phone:
If you lock your keys in the car and the
spare keys are at home, call someone at home on their
cell phone from your cell phone. Hold your cell phone
about a foot from your car door and have the person at
your home press the unlock button, holding it near the
mobile phone on their end. Your car will unlock. Saves
someone from having to drive your keys to you.
Distance is no object. You could be hundreds of miles
away, and if you can reach someone who has the other
"remote" for your car, you can unlock the doors (or the trunk).
Editor's Note: It works fine! We tried it out and it unlocked our car over a cell phone!"
THIRD Subject: Hidden Battery power
Imagine your cell battery is very low. To activate,
press the keys *3370# Your cell will restart with
this reserve and the instrument will show a 50%
increase in battery. This reserve will get charged
when you charge your cell next time.
AND FINALLY...FOURTH How to disable a STOLEN mobile phone?
To check your Mobile phone's serial number, key in the
following digits on your phone: * # 0 6 #
A 15 digit code will appear on the screen. This number
is unique to your handset. Write it down and keep it
somewhere safe. When your phone get stolen, you can
phone your service provider and give them this code.
They will then be able to block your handset so even
if the thief changes the SIM card, your phone will be
totally useless.
You probably won't get your phone back, but at least
you know that whoever stole it can't use/sell it
either. If everybody does this, there would be no
point in people stealing mobile phones.
